R-PLUS and Carnitine Plus are in Stock. Quality Issues.

I may have confusingly worded a previous post. I still have R-PLUS and Carnitine Plus in stock and available for immediate shipping.

We sold out of what we brought to the show.

Did I mention? Carnitine Plus hits me like an espresso when used at 4 caps per day. I actually backed off because I was getting too stimulated. The orotate transport must be doing what it is supposed to do: get a lot more into the cell.

If you look at the pricing, Carnitine Plus, both 60 count and 120 count is priced embarassingly low for what you get. Every physician at the show said "wow" after reading the label and hearing the price.

After talking with a Customer this morning, I am reminded to tell you that acetyl-l-carnitine supplements run a hugh range of purity and contamination! The pharmaceutical grade from Italy is quite expensive, the Chinese product is very reasonably priced. BUT- quality is a big problem.

China right now has pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, and at the other end of the spectrum, absolute crap of terrible purity and with heavy metal contamination.

GeroNova Research provided us great value by subjecting Chinese sourced raw materials to testing before bottling. I will get COA's posted to all their products later this week.

{UPDATE} Here are the 3rd party testing results:CarnitineALCARDoesn't it give you peace of mind to know that the ingredients have been tested for purity and heavy metals?
